Tropeognathus Could Use A Buff

The new Tropeognathus is a pretty fun dino but it doesn't seem great at what it does. It's mainly focused on its cannon and its picking ability but neither of those are very good in comparison to other dinos. I'd say it could use buffs.

1) Faster jet boost. With the amount of fast dinos (mana, drakes, bloodstalker, skiff), it would be nice to be able to match them. If you could grab a mana rider and quickly distance them from their mount before they escape it could offer a great counter to it.  Compared to other flyers it has a small grab hitbox, and cant turn as well at top speeds (mainly talking griffin here). A faster jet boost would give it a nice niche if you could get its grab down.

2) Better cannon. Needs a flat damage buff. It takes a few shots to kill even a wild ptera.

The Mana almost teleports with how fast it is, the Tropeo should NEVER be even close to that fast, especially considering that it's a free flying mount unlike the ones you just listed who require some degree of terrain to keep their mobility up. Tek Skiff is an element guzzling nightmare, it deserves to be faster than the Tropeo.

With the standard saddle yeah, but get a good one from a drop and you're golden.
